New Delhi: As the debate in Parliament over the use of excessive force and pellet guns against student protesters continues, experts have warned that injuries caused by pellet guns can result in irreversible damage, particularly when there is substantial soft-tissue loss, bone defects, or disruption of the continuity of nerves and blood vessels.
Injuries affecting structures with a limited capacity to regenerate such as major nerves, blood vessels, bones and joints, spinal cord, and vital organs may result in a long-term disability, chronic pain or a permanent loss of function despite optimal treatment, they said.
